Linwood’s Capital Campaign

Building an Extraordinary Future Together

Linwood Center has been in the forefront of efforts to address the needs of the autism community for nearly 60 years.  Two years ago we committed ourselves to building a new school that could meet the needs of the autism population throughout the Central Maryland region.  We have the land.  Our design and engineering and applications for building permits are all but complete.  And we have established the connections and relationships we need to partner with the Maryland school systems as the “go-to” school for autism-specific services in our region. We have local, state and federal support. The local newspaper has endorsed our project.  The State of Maryland has invested over a million dollars so far, and Senator Mikulski has given us her endorsement.

Linwood's New School - Back Perspective

One in 110 children born in the United States this year will have an autism spectrum disorder, including one in 70 boys. This represents a staggering 6 00 percent increase in the last 20 years. This urgent and growing public health crisis, more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined, affects individuals throughout their lifespan and demands a commensurate level of action from both the public and private sectors to address the skyrocketing number of children living with autism who need services.

To open the doors of our new building in the fall of 2013, we must break ground in the next few months. We are shovel-ready. We urgently need your support to help us close the final gap in funding for this project. Naming Opportunities. Levels of Giving. FAQs.
